Hello, Mirek.

Now the question is what is missing. I guess we should fix to bugfixing mode and resolve some release policy issues.

I hope, you will review latest redmine (#62) patch for OWC builder about correct support for .rc files, before new release.

One question is what to do with rainbow. It is a great addition to U++ (I hope), but it has little practical uses for release users.

There are options:
1) Creation of rainbow assembly, along with bazaar, examples, reference, tutorial, uppsrc, etc.
2.1) Creation of Rainbow package inside rainbow assembly, which consist of various rainbow platforms:

description "Rainbow GUI platforms\377";

uses(SKELETON) Skeleton;

uses(WINALT) WinAlt;

uses(WINFB) WinFb;

uses(LINUXFB) LinuxFb;

uses(SDLFB) SDLFb;

uses(WINGL) WinGl;

file
	Rainbow.cpp;

2.2) Creation of RainbowApps assembly (new or mirror of MyApps assembly with rainbow directory), where developer could add Rainbow package for his|her applications and appropriate build flags.
3) Automatic recognition for "RAINBOW <RAINBOW_PLATFORM>" (or just "RAINBOW_<PLATFORM>") build flags inside TheIDE to add appropriate packages for GUI application. But this could be ambiguous.

I vote for 1 and 2 option.

Edit 2011-10-03:
Added rainbow changed files and diff for current 3947 revision, to clarify what I meant.
